EPCOT New Signature Restaurant for Japan Pavilion - Takumi-Tei

I disagree. WDW is not more expensive then a similar meal in Manhattan.

Heck... Eating out in many major metropolitan areas is just as expensive as inflated WDW prices at this point. Food has exploded in cost.

For fine dining, yes. For casual/quick service, no. Not close.

IMHO, Tiffins is the best dining experience on property (not including V&A’s). My wife and I enjoy the signature dining experiences throughout property. For her and I, the best one-two-punch meal in park would be Satu’li Canteen for lunch and Tiffins for dinner, with after dinner coffee and cocktails at Nomad Lounge.

We did the Satu'li/Tiffins combo on our last trip, and it was a wonderful food day.

Have you been to a Panera lately? Disney sells sandwiches from $8-$12 depending on what kind. My local Panera sells their sandwiches from $7- $11. All Stars chicken and avocado sandwich with fries is $11.99. Panera's turkey and avocado sandwich with chips or baquette is $10.39. These are typical where I live. Maybe where you are is a bigger city where there is more competition and more distributors so the prices are lower. But food costs have gone up dramatically, this includes groceries, where I live. I live in a medium size city in the midwest.

Similar here at the Panera / Chipotles / fast casual places here in a more rural pocket of Western MA.

Does anyone know if Takumi Tei will ever be on the dining plan?

If it will be it would be two credits. It’s a signature and not cheap.

Just ate there. Amazing service, typical of what you’d experience in Japan. Food was pretty good but very expensive. The menu is rather interesting for Disney. I hope they keep it. I don’t care for look of the restaurant. It feels like it was leftover storage space converted into a restaurant. Will be back one day but for the money I’d opt for Cali Grill still 9 out of 10 times.

I really doubt it, and I think it would be a bad idea, because it seems like they dumb down the menu and make the items cheaper. The food items at this place are REALLY expensive, so I really doubt it would happen anyway
